Book III   Proposition 33
    Let the angle BAD be constructed equal to the right angle at C;
    let AB be bisected at F,
and
    with center F and distance either FA or FB let the circle AEB be described.

Therefore the straight line AD touches the circle ABE, because the angle at A is right. [III.16, Por.]
